HARVARD WOMEN: About 180 people attended a student-sponsored panel discussion on women and tenure at Harvard's faculty club last weekend, where five senior female professors talked about their academic paths and hopes for boosting women's representation at Harvard. Nancy Rosenblum, chair of the government department, said ''one of the most scandalous things about Harvard" is that the administration does so little to inform faculty about family-friendly benefits like mortgage assistance. She called the failure to advertise these perks ''a deliberate policy on the part of the Harvard administration." Rosenblum also said she thought ''the real social justice issue for women in the professorate" is the rise in higher education's reliance on adjunct faculty who often lack benefits or any job security. Nancy Hopkins, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology biologist who walked out on Harvard president Larry Summers's talk about women in science in January, also told the audience she had received about a thousand e-mails commenting on the Summers controversy. Up to 700 came from women saying ''thank you," she said, while several hundred written by men were ''various forms of 'I hate you too, I mean I really hate you.' " The crossover -- negative e-mails from women or supportive ones from men -- was ''staggeringly small," maybe 20 on each side</p>
